Pralnacasan (VX-740; HMR-3480) is a novel, potent, selective, and orally bioactive non-peptide inhibitor of caspase 1 (IL-1beta converting enzyme) with a Ki of 1.4 nM and with the potential for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is able to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines IL-18, IL-1β , and IFN-γ.
| ln Vivo |
Joint injury was lessened by pralnacasan (0–50 mg/kg; oral gavage; twice daily; for 6 weeks; female Balb/c mice). Animal body weight does not seem to be impacted by pranacadasan therapy [1].

| Additional Infomation |
Pralnacasan is an orally bioavailable prodrug whose active ingredient is a potent non-peptide interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitor. Indications: For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Mechanism of Action: Pralnacasan inhibits interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE), an enzyme that regulates the production of IL-1 and IFN-γ—intercellular mediators that initiate and maintain inflammatory processes. Inhibition of ICE may be an effective strategy to reduce the harmful inflammatory processes common in many acute and chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis. Pharmacodynamics: Pralnacasan is a potent non-peptide interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitor. Pralnacasan is an oral anti-cytokine candidate drug, licensed for development by Aventis Pharma from Vertex Pharmaceuticals. In November 2003, Aventis and Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced that they were voluntarily pausing their Phase II clinical trial of Pralnacasan due to liver abnormalities observed in animals after nine months of treatment with high doses of the drug in an animal toxicity study. Although similar hepatotoxicity had not been observed in human trials to date, the two companies would evaluate the animal toxicity study results before proceeding with the Phase II clinical trial.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (10.51 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 55.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (10.51 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 55.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
